16 October 2018

By The SUN

A Filipina domestic worker was injured early this morning, Oct
16, when a vehicle pulling out of a carpark on Broadwood Road in HappyValley
reportedly bumped the car of her employer that she was cleaning.

The woman, surnamed Midriano, was sent to QueenMaryHospital by officers who responded to a
report of the accident at 9:18 am, a spokeswoman of the Police Public Relations
Branch told The SUN.

The spokeswoman said the helper was conscious when taken to
the hospital. She could not say if the driver of the car was arrested, only
saying that an investigation was still being conducted.

Staff at the Philippine Consulate said late in the afternoon
that they had not yet received any information about the accident.

Eyewitnesses said the wayward car was a Jaguar sport utility
vehicle.

The wayward vehicle was reportedly being driven out of the carpark
when it bumped into the car of Midriano’s employer, injuring the helper who was
cleaning the vehicle at the time.

Photos of the accident were circulated on social media by a
user identified as “Jeffrey” by other netizens.

One of the photos showed the victim lying on the carpark lot
with an overturned pail beside her, and some dark liquid spilled on the floor
beside her. A female security staff of the estate was standing guard while
apparently awaiting the arrival of police and paramedics.

Other photos showed a red Jaguar SUV with a wrecked fender
and hood, while an adjacent white car is shown also with a dented hood. Another
photo showed paramedics surrounding the Filipina on the ground, apparently just
before she was driven away to the hospital.
